American Heritage Girls History Founded in 1995 West Chester, Ohio American Heritage Girls was founded in 1995 in West Chester, Ohio by a group of parents wanting a wholesome character development program for their daughters. These parents were disillusioned with the increasing secular focus of existing organizations for girls. They wanted a Judeo-Christian focused organization for their daughters and believed that other parents were looking for the same for their daughters. This became the catalyst for the birth of the organization we have come to know as the American Heritage Girls.
